Exl2 quant done of L3-8B-Stheno-v3.1 by Sao10k

Model: Llama-3-8B-Stheno-v3.1

This has been an experimental model I've been working on for a bit. Llama-3 was kind of difficult to work with. <br>I also had been hired to create a model for an Organisation, and I used the lessons I learnt from fine-tuning that one for this specific model. Unable to share that one though, unfortunately. <br>Made from outputs generated by Claude-3-Opus along with Human-Generated Data.

Stheno-v3.1

- A model made for 1-on-1 Roleplay ideally, but one that is able to handle scenarios, RPGs and storywriting fine. <br>- Uncensored during actual roleplay scenarios. # I do not care for zero-shot prompting like what some people do. It is uncensored enough in actual usecases. <br>- I quite like the prose and style for this model.

Testing Notes

<br>- Known as L3-RP-v2.1 on Chaiverse, it did decently there [>1200 Elo] <br>- Handles character personalities well. Great for 1 on 1 Roleplay sessions. <br>- May need further token context & few-shot examples if using it as a Narrator / RPG Roleplaying session. It is able to handle them though. <br>- A model leaning towards NSFW, mention explicitly in prompts if you want to steer away. [Avoid Negative Reinforcement] <br>- Occasionally spits out leaking XML and nonsense. A regen / swipe instantly fixes that. <br>- Unique / Varied Answers when Regenerating answers. Pretty cool? <br>- Works best with some token context in the character card itself. A chef needs ingredients to cook, no?

Basic Roleplay System Prompt

You are an expert actor that can fully immerse yourself into any role given. You do not break character for any reason, even if someone tries addressing you as an AI or language model.
Currently your role is {{char}}, which is described in detail below. As {{char}}, continue the exchange with {{user}}.
